Guitar Tapping??

[White92]

I've never heard of this before. Pretty impressive for an acoustic guitar!

Andy McKee is awesome. When you're watching that video, click the "rpoland" solo acoustic guitar playlist and check out some of the other Candyrat artists. Don Ross, Gareth Pearson, Antoine Dufour, and Ewan Dobson are some of my favorites.

Here's the link to the playlist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUj0cFczB_8&playnext=1&list=PL447B977301B3AB7D

Andy Mckee is pretty awesome. If you like that type of stuff, you should also listen to Stanley Jordan. This is the hard way to play stairway to heaven.

I was just going to post that. Cool. And he's got a nicer hat than the buckethead guy.

Here's another Candyrat guy. Antoine Dufour. I believe someone posted this once in an older thread but seems relevant since he does some finger taping and it sounds amazing.

That Edward Dobson is amazing sounds like a techno song but it's acoustic lol.

The Bucket Head guy is fast but not very "musical" IMO. The McKee guy is impressive to me because he's incorporating percussion into the song with the tapping. It looks harder than what the other guys are doing. I like Dobson's sound, but he's using some electronics for reverb = cheating. J/K :wink:

The Chapman Stick and masters of it take tapping to a whole other level. It's where tapping on guitars came from.

This guy is one of my favorite progressive guitarists.

+1 Michael Hedges. Was amazing to watch him live (over 25 years ago in Ann Arbor). RIP, taken much too young. :frown:
